World Fastest Sports

This is not about fastest ball or fastest moving object in sports. This is about "Fastest Sports". Badminton have the fastest moving object which is shuttlecock. It can be reach up to 493km/h of speed but I don't think it should be the fastest sport in the world. Why it should be? Table tennis ping-pong ball can reach up to 112.5km/h speed. Yeah, it is low than badminton but the distance between players in the table tennis is close enough to be the fastest sport in the world(This is my theory). Actually very hard to say what is the fastest sport but we can make a list after some little researches and we have lot of things to talk about this. 

Let's Begin...

Badminton court is 13.4m long and 6.1m wide. For singles the court is marked as 5.18m wide but table tennis table is 2.74 m (9.0 ft) long, 1.525 m (5.0 ft) wide, and 76 cm (2.5 ft) high. That's what should we talk about. Yeah moving objects speed should calculate but the distance between players in badminton court is 13.4m and in table tennis it is 2.74m. Then you should be very fast to react in table tennis. Then I think Table tennis is the fastest sport. And also badminton is very fast game too. Okay now let's make the list.

Since the Guinness World Records can only recognize actual numbers, the fastest pitch officially belongs to reliever Aroldis Chapman, who hit 105.1 mph (169.1 km/h) as a rookie with the Cincinnati Reds in 2010.

09. Cricket

Cricket is one of the most-followed sports around the world, even if its popularity in North America is a little lacking. The best bowlers in the game can reach speeds similar to those of baseball pitchers. The fastest recorded bowl of a cricket ball came from Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhtar during a World Cup match in February 2003 when his bowl reached 161.3 km/h.

08. Hockey

Big Z holds the NHL record for the fastest shot, recording a 108.8 mph (175.1 km/h) shot at the 2012 NHL All-Star Skills Competition. However, over in Russia, at the 2012 KHL All-Star Skills Competition, defenceman Alexander Ryazantsev set a new world record by reaching 114.1 mph (183.7 km/h) on the radar gun.

06. Tennis

Milos Raonic is known as one of the fastest servers in men’s tennis. However, his fastest serve ever (250 km/h at the 2012 Rogers Cup) is only the fifth-fastest of all time. Australia’s Samuel Groth hit a 263.4 km/h serve at the 2012 Busan Open, a Challenger Tour event, However that one is not officially recognized by the ATP because of the inconsistency in the radar guns at that level of tournament.

05. Baketball

04. Jai Alai

Jai Alai (aka pelota) is known as the most lethal ball in sports. It is three-quarters the size of a baseball and harder than a golf ball. The best in the sport can toss the pelota at speeds greater than 300 km/h. As a result, Guinness World Records has dubbed Jai Alai as the fastest moving ball sport in the world.

03. Moto GP
